I hope to see you Saturday for a walking tour of the Union Station project.
We will meet in front of the historic station at 17th & Wynkoop at about 9:50 AM. The tour will begin promptly at 10:00 AM and will conclude around 11:00 AM on the Millennium Bridge. Suggested donation is $10/person, and all proceeds go to the non-profit Union Station Advocates.
Interested in all the great investments going on in and around Denver’s Civic Center Park? Want to be the first to see the inside of the new History Colorado Center? Then here’s your chance! The next ULI-Colorado Explorer Series event is this Thursday afternoon. Check out my original post on this event or visit the official ULI-Colorado webpage for more details and to pre-register. You can also register at the door on Thursday, and both ULI members and non-members are welcome. See you on Thursday!
Tomorrow looks like another nice day for a tour of the Union Station project.

I have another surprise for you at the end of this post. But first, let take a look at something that arrived in front of Union Station on Saturday. RTD set up a temporary display of a model of a commuter rail car to get feedback from the public. The model is inside the structure you see in the photo below. I encourage you to drop in to see the car, wander around inside of it, check out the seats and luggage areas, and provide your feedback to RTD.
Here’s shot of the inside of the model which is about one-third the size of a real car.
Please see our Denver Union Station page at JobSiteVistor.com for more photos of the inside of the structure where there are, among others things, graphic explanations of the the car and how it differs from a light rail car.
Now for the surprise I promised. During recent excavations, crews uncovered the home of a million year old man and awaken him for a first time in several hundred thousand years. I bumped into him today as he was wandering around the construction site looking a bit dazed and confused. He turned down my offer to buy him a beer, but he did agree to some new clothes. I think he looks pretty sharp considering his age. Be on the lookout for him if you get to the site soon.
Okay, so there might be some exaggeration in my claim. In reality, I happened across a photo shoot for a music video, and this good looking guy agreed to pose for me. If I had offered a beer, he and the others probably would have accepted.
